Ricky Ponting, the captain of World Cup holders Australia, is facing a charge for allegedly damaging a television set in the dressing room after he was dismissed during his side's victory over Zimbabwe.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) told Reuters on Wednesday that it had received a report on the incident from the Indian Board after it was sent to them by the Gujarat Cricket Association which oversees the sport in Ahmedabad where Monday's game took place.

"We expect to make a decision later today about possible charges," ICC spokesman James Fitzgerald said.
